Singhara Atta is best for making rotis, parathas, or fritters, or as a thickening agent in sauces and gravies. Gia Alvares, Partnerships Associate at The Locavore, also recommends using it to make pancakes because of its slightly sweet flavour profile.
Singhara atta has a naturally sweet, nutty character that makes it quite different from conventional grain flours. Praakritik stone-grinds the dried water chestnuts without applying external heat during milling.
Praakritik—which means ‘of the nature’ in Hindi—is a Mumbai-based brand sourcing produce from farmers across India who do not use any pesticides or chemical inputs for cultivation. They work with over 750 organic farmers and six gaushalas across the country to procure ghee that is obtained from the milk of native breeds of cows.
